An Ohio area rabbi who was charged with sexually violating a child in Baltimore County was slapped Wednesday with a $5 million bail.

Frederick Martin Karp was extradited to Baltimore County Wednesday for his bail hearing.

Karp was charged with committing sexual offenses against a minor “over a period of time,” according to the initial release on Jan. 22 .

Karp was residing at his home Beachwood, Ohio when investigators issued a warrant for his arrest.

“When police went back to Karp’s home, he was not there. Karp was later located by police at Kennedy Airport in New York and taken into custody,” the release said.

Karp was held at the Baltimore County Detention Center Wednesday night.
